Some properties of ordinary sense slice 1-links: Some answers to the problem (26) of Fox

Abstract

We prove that, for any ordinary sense slice 1-link $L$, we can define the Arf invariant and Arf(L)=0. We prove that, for any m-component 1-link L_1, there exists a 3m-component ordinary sense slaice 1-link L_2 of which L_1 is a sublink.
